10-15,000 miles in since I bought it at 40K. I'm coming off of a 9 year relationship with a '98 Bonneville so I'm a little biased but this is NOT the best automobile I've ever owned. The ride is all right, the fuel mileage is abysmal, it gets pushed around like a minivan in cross winds and the build quality is a little suspect (the brakes were completely replaced by the time I bought it at 40K, as was the climate control module. And recently 2 quarts of oil just disappeared from the engine).It's a little hard to see traffic lights (I'm tall) but I still just like to walk out and look at it. The styling is just fantastic. I'll take pictures because it might be the last Chrysler I ever own.

Best and Worst car ever owned. As far as luxury and comfort is concerned, this is the best car I ever owned. But, at 66k miles, the car died at a red light without warning or signs/symptoms of problems. It...just...shut...off! Still waiting on diagnosis from Chrysler automotive. At this point, Chrysler is charging me $320 just to tear down engine to see what is wrong. Will report back once I learn the problem. Im expecting to hear engine blown $11k in repairs. But hopefully not! BTW: I keep the car in good repair and use synthetic oil. Had a PT Cruiser for 10 years with no problems!

Bought new 2006 model, 300C w/HERITAGE TRIM, Hemi V8. My fav car of car buying for 60 yrs (age 76) & I have bought 3 new Mercedes. Love handling, acceleration, & styling. Added Bently style grill & $2100 entertainment center to get all the options of the newer cars. Have owned for 12 years. Low mileage due to owning other cars, 62,000 miles over 12 1/2 yrs. Always garaged. Hard to part with.

Chrysler 2006 Shudder Transmission Problem

I bought this car in 2005. I love to drive it and love the way it looks, however, I have had many problems. 2 months after I purchased the car I brought it in for shudder problems between 30 - 40 miles per hour. Going on year 7 the dealership never fixed it or could repeat the problem. They know this is a problem. They are screwing people. Now, I am out of warranty, have 170,000 miles on the car and continually get told that I need a new transmission. I am taking this to a lemon law lawyer. I also had to take the car in continually in the beginning for electrical issues such as, back window not rolling down, EBS always on. I have never broken down but feel the car is not dependable.
Love it

Hoped it would get a little better gas mileage (averaging 19 city 23 highway), but that is only thing I've found that isn't a ten. Brings me back to the old days of big Detroit Iron that feels good to drive. That and the constant compliments make this the best car I've purchased in two decades.
Cost alot to own one

This car costs alot to own and maintain. At 40,000 miles new tie rod ends, then again at 90,000 miles. new lateral arms, right rear axle seal leak, transmission leak, power steering leak, and several front end alignments. I was going to give this car to my Son to drive, but I wouldn't be doing him any favors there. If you have alot of money to spend keeping this car on the road, this is the one for you.

The car is a dream to drive. Little disappointed that the chrome wheel are alloy with Chrome covers. Interior is very roomy, comfortable and clean. the steering wheel blocks some of the dash in driving position. Rear seating tight for passenger knees. Truck size is good but for the size of the car slightly undersized.
AWD version sits higher

2006 Chrysler 300 Touring 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

AWD version which I have sits an inch or so higher than the other variants. I like the height as most SUVs do not block my view as they do in a lower sitting vehicle like a sebring (which I also have). The car is nimble for its size, corners well, and gives a great ride. Apparently, the 300 is blessed with the Mercedes Benz suspension system for a fraction of a Benz price. It also has the Benz designed transmission which is smooth and is able to be shifted manually into higher-lower gears. Nice touch that adds to the secure AWD ride on mountain roads. The exterior is great and everyone knows it. It gets lots of looks. The interior is not as impressive as you might expect, but suitable
Car is great to drive

Bought 300C with 32,000 miles. Silver with updated grill and some chrome. Looks great, handles well. Suspension allows rapid cruising, does extremely well on windy roads for a car this size. Power is always there when you need it, tranny shifts smooth, geared ok for when you jump on it.Boston stereo ok but I will upgrade rear speakers soon. I like the large sunroof, lets in alot of air and light. I have always owned big cars with V8's and this one has not let me down, overall its a great package for the price.
Awesome Car

This by far is the best car I've had, even with this problems that have come along with it (mostly the dealer that sold me the car). I ditched that dealer and now my issues are resolved.
